My original commit was somewhat more tongue in cheek, but I think this
time I'm going to be honest, rather than hiding behind humor.
I'm angry that we as a community have reached a point where we're
falling apart because people would rather accept sealioning and bad
faith arguments that belong in a 2002 mailing list, not a 2024 software
community.
Every time I dare come back to the Nix community as a more active
contributor it feels like we have a fresh wave of controversy that we
don't ever heal from, everyone just moves on, more tired, and more
broken than before. And now it's crossed a line.
I'm out.
I hope the community decides to actually try and heal. Tolerating the intolerant
for too long has consequences - and the [paradox
of tolerance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance) has
come to its natural conclusion here.
If it does heal, I'll be back with a vengeance, because it turns out replacing
Nix is hard - emotionally and technically, and I'll miss it.

Please accept this letter as formal notice of my resignation from the
position of "Community Member" at DeterminateSystems.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work in this position - I
have thoroughly enjoyed being frustrated and saddened whenever
interacting with the DetSys community. However, I've decided it is time for me
to move on to another community that will hopefully be less tolerant of
willful hate and sexism.
